CONSUMPTION.

From consumers, ITO wsste away,
usually applied to the advanced stage Of
lung disease.
The following are prominent symptoms
in the first stage. and wherever any of them
exist thorough examination should be
made. with a view to arresting the disease
as shown to exist There is usually a sense
OF weariness upon little exercise, dispo-
sition to remain passive and idle, despond-
ency, often from no apparent cause, a pc.
culiar sensitiveness to the effect of cold.
and a breathlessness upon moving quickly
or descending hill or stairs, slight hack.
ing cough, with or without expectoration,
excitability upon slight occasions. flying
pains through the chest or back, or under
the shoulder blades. The symptoms are
more noticeable toward or during the
night. slight fever in the afternoon, cold
feet or hands. or. in many cases. blue livid.
ity OF the lips and roots of the hnger-nails.
Constitutional or tubercular cOnsu mption
is common form OF lung disease. The
progress is slow. but II left to Itself is no
less sure. 1t usually begins with dry
cough. At tirst these tubercles are exceed
ingly minute, the patient not at all suspect
ing their presence. Gradually they develop
Into more active disease. and then follows
the train Of symptoms which leaves NO
doubt as to Its true character Sometimes
splitting of blood or slight streaks in tho
mucus 10 the. nrst indication of tubercular
deposits. or II may be a chilly sensation In
the palms of the hands, or an afternoon
flush on the cheeks. The slow and gradual
inroads of this form of consumption leave
the stomach and appetite undisfurbed for
considerable time. Finally, however, hectic
fever and night sweats supervene, preced..
ed by dtarrhOea. Then the loss of flesh and
strength becomes rapid. the chest contracts,
the features sharpen, the eye attsins an un-
usual brilliapcy and the patient begins to
frmed constitutional consumption.
Limitations are applicable to all diseasss
of the respiratory organs, including catarrh,
throat diseases, asthma, bronchitis, con-
sumption, and thousands of cases can be
cured by this mode of treatment when
nothing else can cure them.

Medical Inhalation Combine ed
with Constitutional Remedies.
Our treatment of the diseases of the respir-
atory passages consists in the employment
of Medical Inhalation, for its direct effects
on the diseased organs; and, at the same
time, adopting such hygienic measures and
administering such medicines by the stOm-
ach as will most effectually purify the blood,
give tone to the nervous system and build
In other words employ combined local and
general treatment.
What is medical inhalation? Before stat
ing briefly what medical inhalation is, we
propose, In as few words as possible, to state
clearly what 1t is not.
Medical Inhalation is not cure-all, a nos
trum, or a panacea. It is not specific rem
edy for any disease. 1t Is not quack medi-
cine, advertised to cure any and all the ills
that flesh 10 heir to, and intended to fill the
pockets Of its proprietors. 1t is not tails
man whose possession insures health to its
pOssessOr without the Intervention of either
sense or judgment. Medical inhalation is
none of these things
Medical Inhalation is simply and solely
method of taking medicines by inhaling or
breathing them into the lungs, instead of
swallowing them into the stomach. BY in
halation the proper medicines are applied
directly to the seat of the disease, In the
nose, throat or lungs; and ii is clear to every
reasoning person how peculiarly applicable
inhalation is in the disorders of the orgnns
named. II you have scalded or burned the
surface of the body, or wounded any limb or
member, you do not swallow the remedy in
tended to heal the disorganized tissues On
the contrary you apply II directly to the seat
suffering from catarrh of the nasal passages
or throat, or afflicted with liberation of the
lungs, should you rely on medicines taken
into the stomach?
Our experience and success in treating
diseases of the nose, throat and lungs dem
onstrates, beyond all question, that the true
scientific treatment Of these diseases Is that
treatment which combines the local effect
OF medicalinhalation with the constitutional
effects of systemic remedies, given In the
usual way by the stomach. One or both
methods must be adopted as the circumstan-
ees demand and such remedies must Be en-
ployed as the experience and Judgment of
the physician have proved to be proper in
each particular case. vs'+i1
